The aim of our research was to diagnose the deficiencies of the educational system in higher education, we have deliberately deconstructed its modern approach linked to the needs of the labor market, (a link) a correlation which has its own concepts of the economy of knowledge, specialization and recurrent demand to the university to open up to its socio-economic environment. We preferred to follow the hidden consequences of this adopted approach. On the cognitive level, the horror of specialization on the graduate is underlined by Edgar Morin and Alain Denault. According to the first estimate, the inevitability of the link with the labor market will only increase our sinking (drowning) in "cognitive blindness" according to Edgar Morin, while Alain Denault launches a new concept of secondary illiteracy, expressing a cognitive drought afflicting university graduates who are highly specialized and lack holistic thinking. This is what we have seen in our societies which push their educated young people to sink into the evil of ideological extremism and the loss of understanding towards great human problems.
